Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I own several Sony DVD players, and they've all been very good, till now. This player got good reviews and operates about the same as the other players I have, so I thought it would be a safe purchase. When it arrived and I hooked it up, the first thing I did was update the firmware. So far so, good. I set up other services such as Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Youtube, etc. All that worked fine. The first time I noticed something wasn't right was when I attempted to play a 3D blue-ray DVD. It would say that it was reading the disk, but never come back. After several power cyclings, it finally read the disk, and played normally. If I tried to stream anything, it would report a network error, and quit, even though the smart tv right next to it was able to stream the very same service without a problem. Occasionally, streaming works, but most of the time, it does not. And, I continue to have problems with it reading DVDs. I tried to get it to display pictures and video on a USB drive. It would say it was reading the drive, but would never return. The very same USB drive plays without a problem on the smart tv and computer. So far, it has not been able to read any drive I have tried, even though every other device, including my older Sony DVD players, can. The only thing I can conclude is that this particular player is defective. Other reviewers have noted problems with player. Gotta return it. **Update** A couple other things aren't working. If I try to update the firmware wirelessly, it goes away for about 10 seconds and then returns with no message of any sort. My other Sony players will say the firmware is up to date if its. This does not. Also, it cannot see my computer on the network, even though the tv and other players can. And, last but not least, it occasionally freezes for no apparent reason.
